Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are my people
I am very patient, bringing years of childcare and hospitality to my interactions with pets and their parents. My favorite part of hanging out with dogs is letting them get all the good smells in during walkies.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Derek was wonderful with our pup and came through at the last minute when our regular pet sitter fell through. He left our home clean and tidy. We would definitely recommend him!
We booked Derek at the last minute when are booked sitter became ill. He was quite accommodating and took very good care of our fur baby even coming back one additional time to make sure our boy was fed when our flight was delayed. Really awesome guy, we will book him again!
We came home to a happy dog! Derek helped us out in a pinch and was very easy to work and communicate with. He took good care of our home and our boy! This was the first time having a sitter in the home and Derek made it a seamless process bringing us peace of mind while we were away. Thanks Derek!
Derek has cared for my baby before and done amazing job! I have a senior so he is a little more demanding than most dogs and he was able to do what was needing very efficiently! I would definitely hire him again! Very good with animals and also a very amazing client, very sweet, caring, and flexible. I would definitely book him in the future!
I’ve never met someone who is a bigger animal lover than Derek. We’ve been so fortunate to have him care for our dogs! Our dogs are always so excited when he arrives, and it’s clear they have built a wonderful bond. He keeps us updated with pictures and messages, which makes us feel so at ease when we’re away. He takes them for multiple walks per day and his attention to detail and reliability are unmatched. Highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter!
Derek is an outstanding pet sitter. He has taken care of my two small dogs a number of times. He is very responsible, and respectful of me and my home. My little one’s love Derek when he comes to care for them. He keeps me up to date with progress reports and photos too! When I come home from being away my dogs are relaxed and happy. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for loving and excellent care of their fur babies. Linda S.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work full time at a coffee roaster and am taking classes at a junior college. I am up very early, even on my days off, and can usually get a couple of walks in before bedtime. I have a very structured daily schedule that dog friends enjoy and love finding out what their daily needs are.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
I am a Napa native and have built rapport with the community through my work as a barista. I started sitting for a friend of my grandmothers who, likes to take vacation and has two small senior dogs and through talking about my adventures with them to my regulars I started to pick up other pet parents to sit for. I like keeping them company while their people are away and I feel honored to be trusted with their well being.
